There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Okemah to get treatment for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common addiction occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a treacherous combination. When added to the fact that seniors commonly struggle with other physical and psychological health ailments that should be addressed at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for help should find a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide addiction treatment and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation program, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. An effective treatment plan will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
